$11,500,000 | Call for Address

This updated, sun-filled home is set on exquisite, estate-like grounds just a few blocks from charming downtown Ross and the highly acclaimed Ross K–8 School.

Enter the private, gated property through stone columns into a spacious motor court, paved with cobblestones and bordered by manicured hedges, all centered around a striking palm tree. The landscaped grounds are breathtaking, featuring stately oak trees, meandering pathways, citrus trees, magnolias, hydrangeas, roses, rhododendrons, vegetable beds, and more. Every detail adds to the home’s character and charm.

At the heart of all this natural beauty sits the timeless shingle-style home. Thoughtfully expanded and updated, it is warm and welcoming. The spacious living room—with its fireplace, beamed ceiling, and abundant windows—opens onto an inviting covered porch, perfect for taking in the setting. The porch overlooks a sparkling pool framed by a stone patio and lush landscaping. Inside, the formal dining room, accented with paneled woodwork, a beamed ceiling, and its own fireplace, flows into the spacious eat-in kitchen with quartz countertops—designed for gatherings both large and small.

Midway upstairs, an intimate library awaits, featuring built-in bookshelves, a fireplace, a window seat, a boxed-beam ceiling, and an intricate hand-carved transom inlay.

The upper level includes the primary suite, which overlooks the grounds and offers a peek of Mt. Tam. With high ceilings, a large walk-in closet, and a spa-like bathroom, it is thoughtfully separated from three additional bedrooms. A family room completes this level, ideal for projects, game nights, or simply relaxing together.

Follow the winding garden paths to discover a storybook guest cottage, complete with its own kitchen, bath, fireplace, and deck—a truly charming retreat.

This private estate enjoys an ideal microclimate and a setting that feels worlds away, yet it lies just half a mile from downtown Ross. The prime location also offers easy access to San Francisco, Wine Country, and beyond.

On the market for the first time in nearly 25 years, this is a rare opportunity to make a truly special property your own.
